New Jersey homeowners face a harsh mix of humidity, snow, road salt, and freeze–thaw cycles—all of which put serious stress on concrete. That’s why the warranty behind your garage floor coating matters just as much as the system itself. Yet across the industry, many warranties contain loopholes so broad they make “lifetime” coverage practically meaningless.
Garage Floor Coating of New Jersey is breaking down the most common traps homeowners fall into—and what real protection should look like.
Moisture Thresholds: The Fine Print That Voids Most Warranties
The most common deception in garage floor coating warranties is the use of arbitrary “moisture limits.” You’ll see numbers like 3 lbs MVER, 6 lbs MVER, or Tramex readings that appear scientific but function as built-in disqualifiers.
Most homeowners never receive pre-installation moisture documentation. So when a coating fails because moisture pushes it off the slab—a frequent issue in New Jersey’s humid climate—the installer simply tests afterward and blames the moisture reading.
We reject this tactic. Our garage floor systems include a moisture-mitigating vapor barrier primer on every installation, with no moisture exclusions.
The Install-Day Moisture Upsell
Another widespread practice: contractors wait until installation day to “discover” a moisture issue and then push an expensive upgrade. In a state with year-round humidity and saturated soils, moisture is not unexpected—it’s inevitable.
We never use moisture as an upsell. Every coating system we install includes mitigation from the start. No surprise fees. No add-ons designed to shift blame later.
Appearance Exclusions: What Tire Staining Really Means
One of the biggest hidden exclusions in the industry is tire staining—also called plasticizer migration. Many 1-day systems, thin epoxies, and low-grade polyaspartics can’t resist the plasticizers released by hot or performance tires.
That’s why many warranties quietly exclude staining, calling it “appearance-related.”
Our multi-layer, industrial-grade systems use 100% solids materials, a full-broadcast flake layer, and two polyaspartic clear coats that resist tire staining even in hot New Jersey summers.
What a Real Warranty Should Include
Before choosing any installer, New Jersey homeowners should verify that the warranty:
- covers all moisture-related issues
- includes moisture mitigation on every job
- does not exclude tire staining
- covers both materials and labor
- is backed by Technical Data Sheets for every product used
If any part of that list is missing, the warranty likely favors the installer, not the homeowner.
